still here after all these years

So.. I haven’t been writing.  I guess I’m going on the premise of what I was raised that if you don’t have anything good to say don’t say anything at all.  Not to say that it’s been all bad.  But internally… I despair.

And in looking at my last post it sounds like I’m a horrible host to my 18 year old.  Which isn’t true.  He’s still with us, but is now 18 and has access to his 11 Grand.  He bought a car, stereo system, pellet guns and a cell phone.  The car is a 89 Jetta with a brand new engine and has had several issues since day one.  So working with his Dad for a year at the shop has paid off for him because he’s virtually done all the repairs himself.  While parked one day off-site at school someone broke the back window and stole the brand new stereo system.  Oh and his cell phone gets no coverage at the house so his 16 year old girlfriend who calls every 20 minutes can’t get ahold of him on it.

But, he’s been towing the line and has even been out job hunting.  Now if he can just get the little dark cloud that follows him around to disappear he’ll be in great shape 😉  That and he needs to go see his Dad.  His dad is dying of Lymphoma and currently is fighting liver failure.

Jeff is fine, coming into his own.  On the way to school this morning I said to him "So.. when are you moving out??"  He says:  "I’m not answering such a stupid question."  Hopefully grades this last quarter will be such that he can remain in Running Start.

Marko quit EQ2 and is neck deep in Vaanguard.  So I’m like… hmmm… What is so appealing about hanging with strangers pretending to be someone else?  Other than that we are finally finding balance between us.  Love is strong.

I’m on a diet.  sucks.  But losing weight makes me a happier person.

David’s butt whistles.  He is the fart master.  A total personal and inside joke.

I’m reading and noting and loving you all.
